Overriding plug-in defaults and saving to a new management pack

You can change the default settings of rules, such as the discovery rule that starts the discovery process, that were established during OnCommand Plug-in for Microsoft installation. Changes to the rules, called overrides, should be saved in a new management pack. You can override any rules to enable or disable them, alter the frequency, or change the start time for a rule.

Steps

  1. Create a custom management pack to store your overrides by completing the following steps:
    1. From the SCOM console, click the Administration workspace option.
    2. In the Administration tree, select Management Packs.
    3. From the Actions pane, click Create Management Pack.
    You can create one management pack for all of your overrides or group your overrides and create management packs for each group. However, you should not save changes to the default management pack.
  2. From the SCOM console, click the Authoring workspace option.
  3. Select Management Pack Objects > Rules.
  4. In the Look for box, enter discovery rule and click Find Now.
  5. Under Management Server, select Data ONTAP: Discovery Rule.
